| I was just looking at that the other day and nearly pulled the trigger on it. The U Tube review looks good but that is from the guy at Classic Firearms. Although I have read good reviews of it on other forums. At the price point it is probably worth a go but I just haven't hit the add to cart button yet. I didn't know about the ghost loading trick until I watched the video. Nice to know. Eta: From what I read all the parts between the Benelli M4 and this one are interchangeable.

Nice! Make sure to give us a review on the fit and finish. Most 12ga ammo is readily available around here. Mostly target and bird loads the sd stuff is hard to find. But in today's world everything becomes a sd load.

I'm looking forward to hear what you have to say about this. I'd love to see some pictures if possible as well. I'd trust an honest review from SF members first before some paid youtuber

| I picked it up from my FFL last night, and haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I am going to try and get out go shoot tomorrow after work. The only shells that I have right now are some 1 oz #8 shells, so I am expecting some hangups until it gets broken in.
I do not have an actual Benelli to do a side by side comparison, so take this for what it's worth. During my quick inspection I didn't find any nicks, scratches, or sharp edges. The fit and finish are very good. I loaded the magazine with 5 rounds, and cycled them through. Everything cycled just fine. The magazine spring is pretty stuff, but is manageable.
The gun comes with 3 chokes. I don't know if a Benelli M4 takes chokes or has a fixed choke. It also comes with the owners manual, plastic choke case, choke tool, saftey glasses, and a pair of ear plugs.
So far I am very happy with the gun. I hope to get it out to the range tomorrow. |

I thought they were like $550. I'm on the notification list.

Wow, that's crazy cheap, if it works reliably. Looks like they have an M2 clone as well, and it's in stock for $399. Wish it didn't have that pistol-grip stock, though... |
